Someone has had the foresail off... he was running under number 3.... and the main appears to be bagged but the bag is damaged...
Maybe they got knocked down?

Where's the storm jib n trysail that the skip was so excited about on Twit?
.
I know vid is always deceptive, but with the exception of the view over the LBs bow early on, those conditions really look like wind over tide in the Solent.* Please add your own smiley cos the 'choices' seem a bit wubbish

Slight thread drift here. This is fascinating stuff, the speed of information being displayed on this thread: The AIS route, Twitter, RNLI video. Its true, "You can run, but you can hide!"
Having time is unavoidable.

Can that happen? I'd assume it's an electromagnetic thing that would automatically release if it lost power, but I've never really investigated. Anyone know? Originally Posted by Martin_J

BBC news has just said a sailor has died after a wave hit his vessel in the English channel! Is this the same incident?
